Why dwell on the comfort Of dusting off the adversity That profane the corners Of our compartments When we can Call upon courage And write for those Without the strength to crawl out Of the hollow caves They live in?                You                   And                     I Are blessed with the curse of Seeing beyond the masquerades Of others That it becomes haunting not To tap into their souls And wander in the Caves of their minds To find the reason behind The warped interior, The vague, and sometimes Vivid Answers to            Why They're sinking in Self imposed darkness,                   They feel they're slaves To and in liberation,          They feel they can't be forgiven For the sins they Unintentionally created,        They feel so empty and hollow And dead within that there's Nothing, but dead spaces Between heart beats,             They're engulfed in Flames that they're turning Everything they caress to ash With every bit of                  Taste,                  Touch,                  Smell                  Lulling us into euphorias Where fragments of              Sound,                Images,                  Fragrances,                   Thoughts, Compound to a jungle of words That we lose ourselves in, Perhaps then, We become a tad bit closer To finding Ourselves, Perhaps.

Why dwell on the comfort Of dusting off the adversity That profane the corners Of our compartments When we can Call upon courage And write for those Without the strength to crawl out Of the hollow caves They live in?                You                   And                     I Are blessed with the curse of Seeing beyond the masquerades Of others That it becomes haunting not To tap into their souls And wander in the Caves of their minds To find the reason behind The warped interior, The vague, and sometimes Vivid Answers to            Why They're sinking in Self imposed darkness,                   They feel they're slaves To and in liberation,          They feel they can't be forgiven For the sins they Unintentionally created,        They feel so empty and hollow And dead within that there's Nothing, but dead spaces Between heart beats,             They're engulfed in Flames that they're turning Everything they caress to ash With every bit of                  Taste,                  Touch,                  Smell                  Lulling us into euphorias Where fragments of              Sound,                Images,                  Fragrances,                   Thoughts, Compound to a jungle of words That we lose ourselves in, Perhaps then, We become a tad bit closer To finding Ourselves, Perhaps.
The second verse was adapted from Nat Lipstadt's 'An Intimate Courage' And this is my cheap attempt at saying we've got purpose, maybe.
